Palmer Loans Guns to Ca p8ea
Ko BY ERNEST THEODOSSIN
Old hands at acquiring neces-
sary props for play production,
the speech and music departments
have borrowed the weapons for
its production of Beethoven's
opera, "Fidelio," from internation-
alyknown gun-collector Andy
Alhough Bethoven's work is set
in eighteen-century Seville and
Palmer's guns are largely Ameri-
can-made affairs, the collector
has supplied some Spanish wea-
pons.
P~almer, who began collecting
gusa a chil, has one of the
world's largest collections, totaling
more than 6,000, all of which are
housedat ist arborn, Mich.,

Old Katie, who was Doc Holli-
day's "girl friend," started Palmer
on his present quest, which is a
study of early American Southwest
hi story. The gentleman feels that
he ought to know the stories
behind his collection.
In his Dearborn establishment,
built after Palmer had gone
bankrupt as a pre-depression
landscape gardener, he often takes
his guests on a tour of his weap-
ens, relating connected tales as
he individuals might tell them
today. -
Spirits Go With Noise
The collection includes a replica
of the first known gun - a 1327
model which was little more than
a bronze tube, used to scare away
evil spirits with its noise. The
by Palmer's grandfather in the
Civil War.
Although Palmer refuses to put
a value on his collection, it has
been estimated by reliable sources
as being worth nearly $1,500,000.
Not confined to shooting weapons,
Palmer also collects bullets, ar-
rows, pikes and maces, spears and
clubs.
Frogs, Ducks, Rattlesnakes
Not exclusively a collector, Pal-
mer publishes and edits a maga-
zine, "Great Guns," dedicated tc
historic guns and their colorful
